CWS “Quick Fix” Grants provide small amounts of funding to support short-term student projects that could not be anticipated far enough in advance to be covered by SOFC funding.

Grants will be awarded throughout first and second semester to support student service projects.

Examples of projects funded by CWS Quick Fix Grant:

You need supplies (art, craft, curricular) for a project or program.

Your student group would like to recruit volunteers for an after-school program and need money for publicity.

Your service group would like to hold a holiday party at the local homeless shelter and need money for the materials (office and art supplies, food, etc.).

Note: Wellesley students seeking seed money to hold a fundraiser or otherwise engage in crisis response efforts should apply for funding through our "Quick Fix" program. The deadlines on the CWS web site for the "Quick Fix" grants do not apply; we understand relief efforts are ongoing and so applications will be evaluated as they are received if designated as "Wellesley's Response".

Award: Up to $300 dollars for individuals and up to $600 for a group for an entire academic year

Eligibility: All full time students and Davis Scholars currently enrolled in classes on the Wellesley College campus are eligible. Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Awards will be made until all funds for the year have been allocated.

Limitations and exclusions: Grants are for projects occurring during Fall and Spring semester ONLY. This money can only be used for programs that are directly involved in a service project addressing a social and/or economic need or for a nonprofit organization. Money cannot be transferred to another project and unused money must be returned to the fund. No applications will be considered for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the time of the application. Students cannot use Quick-Fix Grants to make up for budgetary overruns in existing programs. The funds cannot be used to pay conference or program fees. The funds cannot be used for local transportation for individuals or small groups, and it does NOT cover airfare.
